That's right, but SO_REUSEADDR works as the equivalent of
SCTP_REUSE_PORT for SCTP in linux, and for now you can work around by:
if (setsockopt(fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, &val, sizeof(val)) == -1) {
perror("reuse port failed");
exit(-1);
}
I'll add SCTP_REUSE_PORT sockopt in linux SCTP soon. Thanks.
